Romance in the Parisian Countryside

I’m totally loving the florals and tablescape for the fantastic wedding reception of New York interior decorator and stylist Kelly d’Halluin, née Kapica, and art-loving grande famille scion Nicolas d’Halluin. This wedding was held in the countryside near Paris with cocktails in the gardens, candlelit dinner on the terrace – at a single long table set for 300 guests! – and dancing in the grand salon. I love this color combination and the bouquet – it is so stunning. The inspiration for the bouquet came from the curiosity cabinets in the chatêau. Paris-based floral designer, Stephanie Chapelle, mixed butterflies from Deyrolle, grouse feathers, orchids, ferns, mind and peonies tied with antique ribbons. One of my other favorite details are the glass cloches – aren’t the little nests and porcelain birds perfect? The place cards were done by calligrapher, Bernard Maisner.

What an amazing table! “Fuzzy baby almonds, pepper berries, and porcelain doves accompany birch-bark vessels and white and green florals down the length of the reception dining table.” Kelly (the bride) really brought her vision to life with her amazing styling.

pitter patter pitter patter— that's my heart looking at this beautiful scene! INCREDIBLY ELEGANT + WELCOMING!!!!!Those centerpieces are amazing with the birds and nest… two little birdies in their nest just like the couple for their nest! What a celebration! :)
